As far as Ferrari is concerned, they are supposedly bringing some significant pu upgrades to Bahrain (software wise, which should increase their power output quite a bit and improve the energy harvesting and bbw), so lets see what happens there. And as for RB, that car is in a league of its own (chasis and downforce wise). As soon as they get their PU gremlins sorted out, they are gone. Merc need to capitalise on their current advantage as much as they can, because we might be seeing a repeat of the second part of last season.beelsebob wrote:Indeed, as soon as RBR has their software sorted, that car is going to be a beast.

I think its mostly depended on Renault than RBR.zeph wrote:Yeah, but RBR really has the development game on lockdown. They are always better in the second half of the season. If they're this strong already, I fully expect them to be back on top by mid-season.
I agree, although Red Bull is much better than people anticipated the difference is still quite big.Harsha wrote:I think its mostly depended on Renault than RBR.zeph wrote:Yeah, but RBR really has the development game on lockdown.

We may see more updated pace of RBR at Bahrain too if Renault fixed a bit more, But i believe Merc will be the fastest car until 1st part of the season From 2nd Part they will be even-Stevens with RBR
i share your optimism as an ardent fan but practicality slaps me. i dnt think it is going to happen.it would be hard to keep tifosi quiet.i derive optimism from fact tht aliision is not in lime light and hope would be working hard behind the scenes to fix the issue. this year does not look bad in corners but lacks power and delivery.this car is lacking in power to mercedes and in downforce. i hope ferrari put f14T into championship mix. it would be great to see fight among hamilton,rosberg,vettel , alonso and raikonenBomber_Pilot wrote:As far as Ferrari is concerned, they are supposedly bringing some significant pu upgrades to Bahrain (software wise, which should increase their power output quite a bit and improve the energy harvesting and bbw), so lets see what happens there.

But its like a Car that is Completely optimized vs an un -optimized car That's why we are seeing this much differenceSevach wrote:I agree, although Red Bull is much better than people anticipated the difference is still quite big.Harsha wrote:I think its mostly depended on Renault than RBR.zeph wrote:Yeah, but RBR really has the development game on lockdown.

Forget the dog and the horses, let them first kick that Dominicali out and get either Ross or Briatoremax_speed wrote:this year championship is in mercedes hand but i am convinced redbull gonna pull off something from their basket and will make it hard for them..so disappointed with ferrari another dog from the stable they don't produce horses anymore..they r done for this year too.
What's the problem? Vettel no longer cruising so you're upset?Chene wrote:Bernie's "rain on demand" idea might become the saving grace of the Prius racing series.
